What changes with TimeBuddy
Clearer transitions
The 20-dot countdown makes "five more minutes" something your child can actually see.
More independent routines
Children check the timer themselves — fewer reminders, fewer negotiations.
Flexible sensory settings
Brightness and sound options adapt to every child and every environment.
Every feature has a purpose.
20-dot visual countdown
Time disappears one dot at a time — clear at a glance, calm by nature.
Four modes in one
Countdown, count-up, clock and alarm cover mornings, homework and bedtime.
Sensory-aware settings
Adjust brightness or switch sound off entirely.
USB-C rechargeable
No disposable batteries. Weeks of use from a single charge.
"How much longer?" has an answer now.
Abstract time is hard for young minds. When the end of an activity is invisible, every transition feels sudden. TimeBuddy turns remaining time into a calm, visible shape — so children can prepare for what comes next instead of being surprised by it.
One timer, many calmer moments.
Morning routines
Getting dressed, breakfast and out the door — each step visible.
Screen-time endings
The countdown ends the episode, so you don't have to.
Homework & focus
Work sprints and breaks children can manage themselves.
Classroom transitions
Whole-group time cues without adding noise to the room.
Therapy sessions
Predictable session structure supports comfort and cooperation.
Winding down
A visible path to bedtime makes the landing softer.

“Funny enough, this might be my favorite household purchase this year!”
We've been using this with my toddlers to help them understand timing and work on patience. We set it for cleanup time, brushing teeth, calming our bodies in their room, transitions, and pretty much anything else you can think of.
“Quality is great.”
It's incredibly easy to read, thanks to its large, clear digital display with high-contrast numbers, which remains visible even from a distance. The simplicity of its interface makes it very user-friendly, even for children learning to manage time independently.
“Life-changer for our son's morning routine”
It's been a game-changer for our family, especially for our autistic son who struggles with time awareness and transitions in the mornings. The gentle alarm wakes him up without me needing to go into his room repeatedly or nag him to get out of bed.
“Great timer, with many uses!!”
It's a clock, timer, stop watch, and alarm! It's easy to use, and cute! My daughter loves pressing the button and watching the timer go down. It's a really great way to help kids understand the concept of time.
“Helpful for transitions”
This visual timer works very well and has been especially helpful for my grandson, who sometimes struggles with transitions between activities. The visual countdown has made that process much smoother and less stressful for him.
“Absolutely Amazing Timer!”
Its very simple to set, just turn the knob on top until you got the right time and press it to start. You can even pause the timer if needed. Great product. I highly recommend.
“Good for many uses”
This is a good timer... great to use as a basic timer. I love that it's rechargeable and easy for the kids to reset.
“Great for kids”
User friendly. Worth the money.
“Top product — makes mornings a little competition”
Getting ready in the mornings before school and evenings before bed has become a little competition: ‘Can I finish before the clock or not?’ Simple to use, battery lasts a long time, nice design.
“Great product”
Works as intended, kids love it and it helps a lot with the routine.
Questions, answered.
How long does the battery last?
Up to two weeks of typical daily use on a full charge. Charging takes about 90 minutes over USB-C.
Can the sound be turned off?
Yes. Sound can be lowered or switched off entirely — ideal for sound-sensitive children and quiet classrooms.
Does it tick?
No. TimeBuddy is completely silent while counting. The only sounds are the optional end-of-timer alerts you choose.
Which cable should be used?
The included USB-C cable, or any standard USB-C cable connected to a 5V adapter.
